Cultured Meat. Will you eat it?

Simple answer

No

Probably not as I don’t feel any need to eat meat I don’t hanker after it I m more than happy with my vegetarian diet so wouldn’t have any need to change again now
I prefer natural food to scientifically altered food anyway, I see no need for me but if it helps the planet to get people away from killing animal then it should be helpful

What is it? Is it that fake meat stuff ? Sounds like something germy grown in a test tube !

I think that it is micro organisms but in much larger vessels than a test tube.

I won't eat it, but I have been vegan for many years.

I don't eat the vegan stuff that is made to look and even taste like "the original".

Though if the fake stuff and the test tube stuff is eaten by people who presently eat "the original" and thereby reduces or better still eliminates the cruelty then that would be beneficial.

No

Sounds like ‘posh’ meat.

No, I won’t be eating it.

No thanks I'd rather become a vegetarian.

No

After the glimpse of what I saw yesterday I might consider it, although it does have the yuk factor, but maybe we should get over it and stop sentient beings suffering.

No. We have enough added ingredients in our food already.

No. We have enough added ingredients in our food already.

As I understand it this is meat cultured in the laboratory ( at present) so not clear whether it would have added ingredients?

No fear. I am not a big meat eater anyway but when I am I want the proper stuff and not something that has been tinkered about with, washed in chlorine or stuffed full of God knows what.

No in a word.

No. I'm nearly a vegetarian now. Cutting right down on meat.
Just can't resist a bit of chicken now and then.

Its none of those things. Its artificial meat, nothing to do with an actual living animal.

I'm veggie. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Buy a nice aubergine instead.

No, eat a veggie diet anyway

Cultured meat isn't artificial, it is grown from the cells of real living animals.
Cultured Beef is created by painlessly harvesting muscle cells from a living cow. Scientists then feed and nurture the cells so they multiply to create muscle tissue, which is the main component of the meat we eat. It is biologically exactly the same as the meat tissue that comes from a cow.

I would eat it, without any qualms whatsoever.

I'd at least try it although I don't eat much meat anyway.

That is what I thought and the way to go imo.

Why would you kill a sentient being when there is a viable alternative.

Thanks for the clarification MiniMoon.

Personally I would rather have free range or organic so probably wouldn’t eat it. BUT I think it is a better option to battery hens or intensive farming where animals are kept in unnatural cruel conditions.

I am trying to eat less meat and have the occasional vegan day (but still have milk in tea I’m afraid) and do believe that we need to rethink what we eat and how the animals we eat are treated ( I actually feel awful writing that as I’m guilty of disassociating the meat I eat from the living creature it once was). But what do we do about feeding our dogs and cats? I know dogs can have a varied diet but cats have to eat meat.

I would rather eat soya tbh.
